Which Biker are you?

Among many greatest joys in life, riding is one and that too with an adrenaline rush. Motorcyclists have their own preferences over what they ride, what they wear and how they ride, which makes it a very diverse crowd. Every motorcyclist will have a personality of his own and the motorcycle he rides defines that personality

The trend of riding a motorcycle never goes out of style. When it comes to rider community, undoubtedly there remains an invisible and strong bond between two riders even if they don’t know each other. And even so, all of them belong to a certain category of riders. Read on to find out which category do you fall under.

The Squid

These are the guys who’ve given a general bad name to the riding community. You can spot a squid by his sketchy manoeuvres, loud pipes and barely protected body. Although probably he’d be wearing some Oakley wraparounds and his helmet would be strapped to the pillion mostly. He is too fast on public roads, pulls wheelies and stoppies whenever gets a chance and can be seen doing whatever he wants even in rush hour traffic.

The Mechanic

This rider spends as much time in his garage as he spends on the road with his bike. To this DIY nutcase, developing a good relationship with the motorcycle certainly means being able to take it apart and put it back together again. They enjoy a high satisfaction quotient because the bike they ride is the one they take care of. Greasy hands and cheeks are all part of the game.

The Brand loyalist

As long as the bike is of his brand, this motorcyclist will ride any motorcycle. Other motorcycles are irrelevant, or worse, not even worth the synapses required to consider them motorcycles in the first place. It’s either their brand or nothing else.

Adventurer

These motorcyclists will go to roads that have not been taken by anyone so far. Just as grease is to Mechanic, dust is to an adventurer. They are also knowledgeable, well-prepared, and well-equipped. A versatile skill set behind the handlebars matches the versatile nature of their chosen rides.

Exclusive sports rider

These are bikers who love speed and power which is often wrapped up in some sleek bodywork. They may or may not be a race fan, but if they are, they take it way too seriously. Otherwise, they can be seen congregating at a track day, where obsessive knee dragging is assured.

Exclusive cruiser rider

These prefer a relaxed ride, but not afraid to whack the throttle open. They are always in a straight line without any knee dragging. Always relaxed and stays away from any riding non-sense.

How effective is online learning

Among the many changes that have taken place with the advent of technology and gadgets, online learning is the one trend that has actually proved beneficial to the students. Parents, on the other hand, are quite skeptical about it.

It’s not hard to see why online learning has been on the rise in recent years. It is convenient as compared to traditional face to face method of study. It also isn’t much time consuming as students can fit studies in their existing commitments and study when convenient for them. Further, students don’t have to travel and stay away from their homes to study. They can simply login to their virtual campus from the very comfort of their homes. Let’s have a look at some more of the reasons why students are choosing online learning over traditional learning.

Reduced cost

Another reason for the popularity of online learning is the reduced cost. It is cheaper and hence for students who couldn’t afford certain courses it has become a boon.

Innovation in learning

Also, for students who are actually interested in learning, online courses have become a new way to learn. Students who are serious about improving their understanding and skills, and gain knowledge are also keen to enrol in a course that will be most effective for them.

IBM have found that participants learn five times more material in online learning courses using multimedia content than in traditional face to face courses.

Control in the hands of students

Because online courses give students full control over their own learning, students are able to work at their own speed. Generally students work faster than they would do otherwise and take in more information. They are able to move faster through areas of the course they feel comfortable with, but slower through those that they need a little more time on.

Higher retention

Since online learning has more engaging multimedia content, the retention is also higher. Studies have found that online courses have increased student retention rates from anything from 25% to 60%.

More and more students are enrolling for online learning courses. However, since it involves internet and gadgets, one is more prone to get diverted to other disturbances. Therefore, only when you are sure to be focused on your studies online learning is a good option.
